Cool stuff. I believe we've seen a similar flick as this one posted here a couple of years back in connection with a broader set of discussions centered on what are generally regarded as trenchless technologies. I'll try to locate it (but my search privileges on SI are perhaps not as good as some others here; ahem). The rules that govern the use of microtrenching transcend what the city will permit, however, the latter I suspect being no different than digging to lay 4" PVC three or four feet below grade. Consider, however, I've lived at my present address in Brooklyn for twenty years now, at the intersection of a residential side street and a larger residential avenue. During that time the side street's asphalt has been stripped and replaced twice, and the avenue three times. The sewer mains and gasline utilities each have been worked on at least once. When comms and utilities infrastructure are covered sufficiently at prescribed depths routine road jobs have no effect on them. And when the utilities and waterworks departments do their thing, they are mindful (usually) of the placement of all other underground infrastructure emplacements. The same couldn't be stated for microtrenches in respect of any of these types of surface and underground work projects, however, leastwise not when they go down only a few inches. However, if the depth achieved was sufficient, it might be another story, but you'd still have to come to terms with the city's designated franchise department. ------
